OTTAWA—The way former Liberal cabinet minister Catherine McKenna sees it, change is coming. Either her party supplies it, or they lose power.
She’s quick to say that doesn’t necessarily mean Justin Trudeau needs to go, though she observes that what’s on offer “clearly” isn’t resonating with voters.
The federal government’s promise to build nearly 3.9 million new homes by 2031 is unrealistic and unachievable, construction experts told MPs.
“Right now, we’re staring into a pit,” Residential Construction Council of Ontario president Richard Lyall told the House of Commons human resources committee this week, which was first covered by Blacklock’s Reporter.
“When cranes come down, they’re not going back up. We’re headed down in a big way and our sub-trade pipelines are dry. It’s drying up.”
Canada’s economy went from boom to bust faster than anyone could anticipate. Statistics Canada (Stat Can) data shows slower-than-expected real gross domestic product (GDP) in Q1 2024, along with a downward revision for the previous report. Combined with the rapid population growth, this has led to a rapid decline in per-capita real GDP. In fact, Canada’s per-capita real GDP rolled back to 2014-levels, indicating the country is facing a lost decade of household progress.
… And while Canada’s Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau responded to this latest shooting at the Toronto Jewish girl’s school, by referring to the attack as, “a brazen act of antisemitism, calling for the perpetrators to be brought to justice,” it’s just a bit confusing for those of us who have noticed Trudeau’s proclivity towards the acceptance of Woke ideology, part of which seeks to classify certain ethnicities in the oppressed or oppressor category. Because within that warped concept of reducing individuals into divisions, which represent evil or victimhood, Jews have somehow ended up on the side of those who perpetrate hardship, deprivation and even genocide against Palestinians, perennially seen as the consummate victims.
The question I have these days about Justin Trudeau is not “will he run again?” (which is unknowable at the moment) but “how did he and the Liberals screw things up so badly?” How did they manage to fall from the heights of “sunny ways” back in 2015 to the electoral depths they’re stuck in now?
I read Stephen Maher’s new book, “The Prince: The Turbulent Reign of Justin Trudeau,” with that in mind, looking for clues as to when and why the wheels came off the Liberal bus.
As Justin Trudeau’s popularity continues to slide, his half-brother Kyle Kemper doesn’t think the beleaguered leader is looking to get re-elected as prime minister.

The three of them once stood side-by-side as road captains of a historic protest.
Now, more than two years after thousands of honking vehicles rolled through Ottawa in what became known as the Freedom Convoy, two narratives are emerging in court — potentially splitting the fates of Pat King, Tamara Lich and Chris Barber.
Factually, they are separate cases. King is being tried alone, whereas Lich and Barber are co-accused in their trial.
A CBC ad campaign last summer tried to define the increasingly amorphous sense of “Canadianness” on which its brand is built: “It’s not how Canadian you are; it’s who you are in Canada.” But, if the Liberals have their way, even this tagline will be outdated soon.
Months before British Columbia sought to scale back its drug decriminalization pilot project, the federal government’s own polling suggested to officials that a majority of Canadians believed the policy would lead to an increase in overdoses.
The results of the 11-page survey by the Privy Council Office, the wing of the federal bureaucracy that supports the Prime Minister’s Office, also suggests Canadians were split over whether decriminalization would make their community any less safe.
Everything the Liberals touch turns to shit.
Trudeau's health minister Mark Holland gets TRIGGERED at the thought of Canadians going on a road trip:

Canada’s Immigration Minister, Marc Miller, has commanded center stage in Ottawa over the past few weeks making a rash of new policy announcements. The changes being made to Canada’s immigration system will make it easier for newcomers to come into the country – seemingly without regard for either the costs to taxpayers or the strain placed on Canadians’ social contract.
Last Thursday, the government tabled legislation that extends birthright citizenship, allowing Canadians who live abroad to pass down “Canadian citizenship” to their children who may have been born outside the country and live abroad. This allows for a person who never has set foot in Canada to hold Canadian citizenship based on one of their parents’ citizenship.
Welcome to Delhi, India… sorry, we mean Toronto, Canada.
The effects of mass immigration and #TheGreatReplacement make it difficult to tell the difference, and it’s happening all over the West.

Does anyone know the context for this video?
Was there a festival or holy day or something being celebrated?
Or is Toronto just Fucked?
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau appears to believe he can amend a heretofore inviolate law of economics: that of supply and demand.
He said as much in a recent appearance on The Globe and Mail podcast City Space in which he talked about housing affordability. He was asked whether current homeowners will have to accept some sacrifices so aspiring homeowners – who are presently priced out – can enter the market.
A few weeks ago, a friend who lives in the riding of Toronto-St. Paul’s heard the doorbell ring. It was Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau hadn’t even called the by-election for the affluent midtown riding, and yet Mr. Poilievre was already knocking on doors in a seat that has been Liberal for decades.
No one is realistically predicting that public disaffection with the Liberals will result in an upset in Toronto-St. Paul’s when the by-election is held on June 24.
Toronto will vote Liberal. That comet can’t come soon enough.
A new poll predicts certain disaster for the once-loved prime minister.
Justin Trudeau was once the darling of Canadian liberals and hailed by American Democrats as the example par excellence of a progressive leader. During the Trump presidency, Democrats extolled Trudeau as the leader up north whose support for progressive values and multiculturalism — as well as his intensive economic policies — made him a saint in comparison to Donald Trump.
Environment and Climate Change Canada has given out over $500 million in grants and contributions to non-profits, academia, and international non-governmental organizations since 2022, according to information tabled in Parliament.
The department provided a total of $424.7 million to not-for-profit organizations or charities, $22 million to academia, and $76.5 million to international organizations since 2022, for a total of about $523 million.
